only used during NASA's era of not doing anything at all. they dropped it once ISS construction began

seriously though, it reminds me of the 90s, when no one gave a poo poo about NASA. any time I see it I'm like, why do you want to relive those times? nothing happened.

edit: just ignore my drunken rant

To quote the MIT page "Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton poses with the Apollo guidance software she and her team developed at MIT."

There are a lot more spaceships sitting here on earth than there are in space at any given point in time, and even the ones that are currently up there have spent most of their lives on earth. Shouldn't they be called earthships? This is like if I called myself an underwater man because I've swam underwater a bunch of times.

Well yeah, people wrote much wordier back then, I mean just look at how long even just the titles of their book were back in those days:

I grew up near this museum, I've been 10 feet away from this genuine Lunar Lander like a dozen times. It's so much shinier than any photo can capture!

"Thirteen lunar modules were built and six landed on the moon. No. 13, which was to have flown on the canceled Apollo 18 flight, is on permanent loan from the Smithsonian Institution to the Cradle of Aviation Museum."

Most were built by Grumman in nearby Bethpage, so it kinda makes sense it would be on loan to that museum?

EDIT: It might just be a simulator? Still awesome for a kid to gawk at. https://www.american-spacecraft.org/lunar-modules/lm-mission-sim.html

We have iron in our blood. Blood being super important to our success as a machine.

That iron came from a big old rear end star that exploded, long ago. And not our Sun, that's our brother/sister/uncle/aunt.

But rather, some long gone big rear end star, that exploded, and seeded the gas cloud that became our Sun and solar system.

The iron in our blood is older than the Sun, older than the Earth....

No it did not.

the sun has iron in it but it will never become part of planets. it's not big enough to nova. all of earth's heavy elements came from stars that went supernova

Some star we'll never know. It blew up over 4.5 billion years ago.

It's just a big ball of cheese, not quite sure what's so complicated about that. Unless your talking about it having complex flavors, which I'm not sure if anyone actually knows what it taste likes, pretty sure the only people who went there had those big helmets on so it would of been, you know pretty difficult to eat in that.
